"Summer holidays" Photography Competition

• Inscriptions: 10 September to 1 October 2025

All members of the UIC Barcelona university community are eligible to enter the competition as individuals (1-3 submissions per person)

The idea is to take pictures that represent spring. Files containing images that violate the right to honour, personal and family privacy, self-image or UIC Barcelona's ideology will not be accepted or published.

Complete this form to sign up and attach your photographs.

To send us the photographs, send them to cultura@uic.es. The format of each image must be:

• name_surname_title
• JPEG file
• minimum resolution of 1,200 pixels

* If any of the above-mentioned information is missing or any of the requirements are not met, the photographs will be automatically disqualified.

The panel will consist of experts from UIC Barcelona, who will assess the submissions and award a prize, at their discretion, for the best compositions. However, the panel reserves the right not to award a prize if the quality of the submissions is too low. The panel's decision is not subject to appeal, and no participant may be awarded more than one prize.

A winner will be chosen from among the participants of the Campus Barcelona and a winner from among the participants of the Sant Cugat Campus. Each winner will receive a gift voucher of € 100 unchangeable in the FNAC stores.

It will be understood that the participants authorise the reproduction of their images without limits as to systems, media or countries and free of charge. Participants will be responsible for any claims arising from the infringement of copyrights. Participation in the competition will constitute the acceptance of these terms and conditions. Decisions regarding incidents not covered under these terms and conditions will be made by the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, which will settle the matter to the best of its judgement, and are not subject to appeal.

The submission of photographs generated, created or edited, in whole or in part, using artificial intelligence is strictly prohibited. Only images taken with conventional photographic devices (digital and analogue cameras and smartphones) shall be accepted. Participants must confirm authorship of the submitted images and ensure that they have not been generated or modified using AI technology. In the event of doubt or suspicion, the organisers reserve the right to request the original camera file (RAW or equivalent) and the photo’s metadata, as well as information on the editing process.
